Covid: Mobile hairdressers ‘confused’ over reopening rules
We can wave xo goodbye to our lockdown locks from Monday – but mobile stylists say they remain in the dark on whether they can pick up the scissors again.
On Friday, the Welsh Government said all hairdressers, including mobile salons, could reopen.
But the Nation Hair & Beauty Federation (NHBF) said it had been told mobile stylists “might not be able to resume”.
The Welsh Government said they could work only “where the client physically cannot leave the home”.
The latest guidelines state mobile hairdressers can visit people’s homes if “leaving the home is likely to have a significant detrimental effect on their wellbeing”.
But the NHBF said the guidance was not clear and it was “seeking clarity to understand when mobile services will be able to fully resume”.
Mobile hairdresser Antonia Sparkles, 32, from Pencoed, Bridgend, said she does not understand the rules.
“It should only be a yes or no, with clear instructions on what services we can do,” she said.
“I feel a bit confused. I know three people who can’t leave the house physically – that is not going to pay my bills.
“In the last hour I’ve had more confused clients saying I’m allowed back – it’s more stress. I’m telling clients there’s no answer yet, it’s not clear.”
